Sur cette page, vous pouvez obtenir une analyse détaillée d'un mot ou d'une phrase, réalisée à l'aide de la meilleure technologie d'intelligence artificielle à ce jour:
An oblique shock wave is a shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the incident upstream flow direction. It will occur when a supersonic flow encounters a corner that effectively turns the flow into itself and compresses. The upstream streamlines are uniformly deflected after the shock wave. The most common way to produce an oblique shock wave is to place a wedge into supersonic, compressible flow. Similar to a normal shock wave, the oblique shock wave consists of a very thin region across which nearly discontinuous changes in the thermodynamic properties of a gas occur. While the upstream and downstream flow directions are unchanged across a normal shock, they are different for flow across an oblique shock wave.
It is always possible to convert an oblique shock into a normal shock by a Galilean transformation.
